SEOUL, Dec 22 (Reuters) - A Seoul court on Friday handed
down to Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin a two-year suspension

The Seoul Central District Court ruling on Friday came after
prosecutors charged Shin with embezzlement and breach of trust
in October 2016, following a high-profile probe into South
